🤔 Who is not watching the Oscars

@SnowyCA <raises hand frantically>

@SnowyCA I haven't been keeping up with pop culture since the start of March. Why watch the Oscars over reading the news?

[snowyca@social.vivaldi.net]

@snacktraces @StaceyCornelius
Exactly. I didn't realize it was on until reading someone's post

Seems like most folk are watching it.

[snacktraces@hachyderm.io]

@SnowyCA @StaceyCornelius

I have never watched it. I did try to watch the grammys one year, but after 15 minutes I lost interest and have not looked back.

[snowyca@social.vivaldi.net]

@quadrivial ahhh good. Join the list, eh. Looking like there is more than a few of us who are unimpressed by the glitz and glamore

[snowyca@social.vivaldi.net]

@tizziari yup.
Or over most anything else.

[mayhammonday@mstdn.ca]

@SnowyCA Oh damn I see Frankenstein was up for an award too, looks like horror has hit the Oscars this year!

@scheichsbeutel
I think you are the 8th person to say this. @snacktraces @StaceyCornelius

[snowyca@social.vivaldi.net]

@MayhamMonday oh no. Did they do Another remake?

[gemlog@tilde.zone]

@scheichsbeutel
It's now? I thought it was months ago or something.
It absolutely doesn't matter. I don't know why they even have it.

[mayhammonday@mstdn.ca]

@SnowyCA yeah I guess so I haven't come across it yet! It's getting harder to find new movies at Walmart.

[chefraven@sfba.social]

@SnowyCA 25 years ago I lived in Los Angeles. It’s practically a holiday there. The whole city stops for it.
Fast forward to now and I don’t even think I saw one of the films this year.

[snowyca@social.vivaldi.net]

@chefraven yup. I lived there a lot longer than 25 years ago and back then it was quite the event, but I wasn't interested.
I am not aware of any of the shows.

[snowyca@social.vivaldi.net]

@MayhamMonday I wonder why ....

[mayhammonday@mstdn.ca]

@SnowyCA cuz someone always comes along & thinks they can do a better version, just wait until AI has it shot but I definitely will not be watching that version!

[snowyca@social.vivaldi.net]

@MayhamMonday AI-generated ? ugh. What a "horrific" thought!

[mayhammonday@mstdn.ca]

@SnowyCA sorry I was thinking you were asking why they were making another movie. I have no idea why Walmart seems to be cutting back on their movie selections.

[snowyca@social.vivaldi.net]

@MayhamMonday or are people buying them out because stay at home viewing is less expensive?

[mayhammonday@mstdn.ca]

@SnowyCA I don't know but I'm not ordering from Amazon so I guess I'm seeing my collecting days come to an end.
